Best Hockey Skates?

Finding the best hockey skates is a hard thing to do.  It is.  That is why I am writing this article regarding my experience in hockey equipment.  I’ve had great experience with Bauer hockey skates and even though they were the cheaper version of hockey skates, they were the absolute best for my money.  CCM is also a good brand, but I had more issues with them than I did with Bauer which tends me to rank Bauer above them.  CCM Vector skates look like an improvement over the old TACKs brand, but I can’t vouch for them as I’ve never owned a pair of those skates before.  I find that Bauer’s brand of skate fit much better and I had better control of movement in them.

Nike Bauer is the brand that I’ve talked about in the first paragraph, even though I’ve owned CCM TACKs for the majority of my hockey playing life.  It’s really just a matter of convenience.  I didn’t really care for them in the beginning, but I got used to the feel of their skate boot.  Did I like them after that?  Not really, it’s just that I had to adjust my playing while wearing this particular pair of hockey skates.  I know that not every player will have this problem.  It’s up to you to decide weather or not you wish to try all pairs of skates or not.  I’d rather not as it’s expensive.

Another company that has gotten into the hockey equipment game is Reebok.  RBK is the short version of the name in which they produce their line of sports products.  Have I ever used their equipment while playing hockey?  No I haven’t, but I can tell you that this brand is sponsored by the NHL.  That’s right, Reebok is the official hockey equipment provider of the NHL.  So they have to have some degree of comfort in the hockey gear area.  Do I think Reebok Hockey Skates are good?  I don’t know.  They might be, but I haven’t had a chance to play a game in them.

Choosing skates can be tough.  You need to know what type of bearings come in the skates.  You should also check out the wheels.  Are they indoor wheels or outdoor wheels?  If your playing outdoor hockey or street hockey, then you want a harder wheel.  Indoor hockey players need softer wheels.  Is the frame plastic or metal?  I always go for aluminum chasis in my hockey skates as I like stiffness and control. 

Well, you won’t find any good sports equipment that works for you without trying it on and playing a game in it.  There are many brands to choose from.  Nike Bauer, CCM, and Reebok are some companies, but that’s just to name a few.  If you want to find out who has the best, do your own research.  I personally think that Bauer has the best hockey skates.
